Speaking as a DSL Forum participant: Both PANA and 802.1x have been previously presented at the DSL Forum in the context of TR-101 and WT-146 work. PANA in particular was presented by one of the framework draft co-authors. The fact that the DSLF chose to express "serious interest" in a based DHCP solution says the rest. -Woj. > > > _______________________________________________ > Int-area mailing list > [email protected] > https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area > _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
